Group Project Grump (and a to do list)
Oct. 22nd, 2011 11:46 am( To do list first so as to get that crossed off my list right away... )
So, in management, the class has to do group projects. We've split the class up into (supposedly) groups of four, (though we seem to have acquired six) and each group takes a case study. The project is worth 15% of our grade. My group is doing business ethics, with a focus on PETA's "Died" campaign against Procter & Gamble. The group project has to involve each person in the group, and it also has to include a class participation segment. My group's project is due to be presented on Nov. 9th.
I have ideas. Mostly they are off topic, as they go into the psychology of ethics, which is waaaaaaaaaaay beyond the scope of this class, but I've also had ideas on how to work around all of our conflicting schedules (create a yahoo group, for example). The other members have nodded politely (in a vacuous way) and done nothing. Nada. Not even respond to emails, for the most part.
( But that's not my grump. No. I am much grumpier than that! )
Anyway, this is pissing me off something fierce, though really, I should just relax. I will get a good grade in the class no matter what. I'd really prefer an A, but I'll make do with a B if I have to.
I guess I need to compose a politely worded email asking direct questions, like how long such and such will take to prepare, who's doing what and and such. Bah. I hate nagging.
